As a father of a 13yo…

As a father of a 13yo daughter who plays hockey I think this is awesome news.  Not that I have any realistic expectations that my daughter would be able to play D1 (she only started tying her own skates last year ha) but it’s nice to dream.

As an analogy, this kind of reminds me of the end of Princess Bride where Inigo Montoya, after accomplishing his lifelong goal of getting vengeance for his dead father , confessed that he did not know what to do with himself.

I recall being ranked around…

I recall being ranked around #14 in preseason polls and not expecting much in the coming season.  I think it was an Athlon sports college football preview that referred to our defense as "ferocious" under Ron English.  With names like Sam Sword, Rob Swett, and Jaret Irons on defense I remember Brent Musberger commenting "now those are some defensive names!".  I also remember Michigan gave up less than 100 points heading into the Rose Bowl, or some crazy stat like that.

And I think i remember being drunk a lot on Saturdays watching these games.

My son's school "modified"…

My son's school "modified" hockey team (7th, 8th, and 9th graders) was light on older kids one game.  They wound up skating all 7th graders (12 year olds) vs the other town's team that was all 9th graders (14 year olds).  The other town (Rye) is also a hockey powerhouse in southern westchester, NY.  So our prepubescent kids squared off against a bunch of near men with low voices and got waxed. 

The score (9-0) didn't reflect just how dominated we were (shots on goal were 54-2).  At one point I think the other goalie was playing solitaire on his phone.

Had to look at the full list - Ohio State has a degree called "Exploration".  Before firing off the Dora and Diego jokes, anyone have any idea what that is?

Full List here:

Went two years ago and had fun with my son.  Not sure name of parking structure I parked at but it was close by.  My only gripe was that it took me an hour to get out of the parking structure after the game because I think there was only one exit out onto a narrow alley/street.  

Oh look another 3 and out

Semi serious question - what's with the F14 at the very end of the trailer?  The Tomcat was decommissioned a decade ago.  Unless maybe it's a flashback or dream seqeunce?

Anyways I looked in IMDB and apparantely they did take Val Kilmer out of mothballs and cast him as Iceman again.
